Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hillmoor. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Hillmoor
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Hillmoor
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Hillmoor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Questions from Hillmoor

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Everywhere in the UK, Hillmoor included. Travel is included in the price.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
